June 2010: A lovely sunny Saturday afternoon drinking session started with this beer, poured into a ’Corsendonk’ badged stemmed tulip and a vase shaped ’Watzdorfer’ badged Pilsner glass. Having spent two weeks in the US recently and drinking overly hopped IPA’s, this came as a wonderful suprise, it is about 100% better than anything I had in the US, stuff those Arogant Bastards at Stone, those Hopped Stoopid guys at Lagunitas, I wouldn’t give Rogue anytime let alone 60 or 90 minutes. This beer is just miles ahead in flavour, why are you people in the US so aggressive with your hops? No need at all. The aroma from this wonderful beer, like the taste was a hop orientated true IPA. The colour was almost lager pale gold, but not quiet. Pale, Lager and Crystal malts are used. These are supplimented with torrefied wheat, Progress, Mount Head and Styrion Golding hops. Before anyone else in the US tries to make an IPA, Double/triple/quad/etc, etc, IPA they should have this beer first. The amazing thing about this beer is: it is a supermaket cheapo.

50cl bottle, CM Vantaa. Pours clear golden color with a small white head that quickly dissapears. Aroma is hoppy and sweetish. Fruity flavour, honey and citrus. Some citrus also in finish, ends quite bitter. Light and refreshing.

Bottled (thanks hanniku!). Golden colour, mediumsized white foamy head. Aroma is parfume, fruits,zest and some mild caramel malty notes. Flavour is sweet malts, rather fruity including exotic fruits, some mild wood as well as mild herbal notes. Well balanced, but a bit sweet.

Bottled (Citymarket Sello, BB 04/2010). Deep clear golden color, small white head. Light flowery hoppy, a bit honeyish aroma. SImilar flavor: sweetish, honeyish with light citrus-flowery hops. More bitterness in the finish. Quite light and uninteresting.
